Sentiment always plays a part in royal wedding flowers, with blooms from royal estates featured in floral arrangements.
New for the royal wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William is an intent focus on trees, plants and flowers from the royal residences. Primary sources are the Savill Garden and Valley Gardens at Windsor Great Park, and Sandringham Estate, with English flowers from other growers filling in.
Floral designer Shane Connolly is rose-wrangler-in-chief for the wedding flowers in Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. He's all about seasonal. For Charles and Camilla's springtime wedding he incorporated blooms from Charles' garden at Highgrove.
Four tons of foliage, including 20-foot maple trees (which symbolize something meaningful in the Language of Flowers -- syrupy sweetness?), have been shoe-horned into Westminster Abbey.
Lining the aisle, the potted maple trees will be on display for a week after the wedding, then planted at Highgrove. Any cut flowers will be sent to hospitals and later composted. All very sustainable and commendable.
